PAGE 14 NOVEMBER 41 In On Tuesday evening at press tilne, the Goldendale Lady Timberwolves' varsity volleyball team, pla3ing in dis- trier competition at Burbank, whipped Warden to advance to district semifinals on Saturday. The Wolves, ranked fourth in the state according to the Yakima tlerald Republic, made it quick and painless, winning 25-13, 25-12, 25-11. 'q'iffany Ferch had I think the best match of her career," said head coach Jodi Bellamy, calling in the result. Ferch had seven kills and a stuff block, Bellamy said; Ashley Dyment added nine kills, Tessa Conroy five, and backcourt stars Jessica Perez and Hanna Balcom, unbeatable all year, had 15 digs between them. The win comes one week after the girls clinched the 2004 league title by beating White Swan at home on Oct. 26, 23-25, 25-19, 25-16, 25-9. In that contest, Conroy had 11 kills, Dyment 14 and Alanda Seifert 13. Balcom, Perez and Hillary Moss combined for 26 digs and Jessie Davenport had 38 assists. The girls' season closer, a 26-24, 20-25, 25-11, 25-19 win over Zillah at home on Thursday, cemented an unde- feated lo-o season. Ferch, Dyment, Conroy, Seifert and Moss overpowered the Leopard defense with 29 kills, Seifert adding lo aces and Perez and Balcom 16 digs. ~rlier, on Oct. 23, the girls Photo by Sam Lowry Timberwolves' Tiffany Ferch slams down a kill during the team's recent battle for the league title. got a serious tournament- preparation shakedown at the East Valley tournament, play- ing against no fewer than three 2A teams. A loss to Cascade (25-16, 21-25, 10-15) was fol- lowed by wins over Naches Valley (25-11, 25-1o) and East Valley (25q8, 27-25). "That put us second in our pool and matched us against at good 1A team in Okanogan," Bellamy recounted. "The six juniors we had played a very spirited, tight match, some playing in places they had not played all year. We won the match in three sets with scores of 25-27, 27-25, and 18-16. Can't get any closer than that!" Bellamy praised the team's big plays with matches on the line. "It was what we needed to do and they got it done! Making big plays when the game is on the line - that experience should be helpful the rest of the way! With the win against Okanoagan, the girls finished third out of eight teams. X-C runner, Better, finishes 5th at district For the third year in a row, Melissa Better is head- ed to state. The Goldendale High School cross-country run- ner finished fifth among girls competing at the dis- trict tournament on Saturday in Selah. Better's time was 21:95:16; the winner, Brooke Mortensen of Zillah, crossed the finish line in 2o:5o:63. According to coach Dick Patzer, Better fell as far back as 15th early in the race, then struggled back, passing ten runners in the process - no easy feat. "She would not allow her- self not to go to state," Patzer said. Fellow-runner Alyssa Powers, last year's district champion, finished 20th and failed to qualify for state Photo courtesy of Dick Patzer Goldendale's Cross-Country team, (BACK, LEFT) Alyssa Powers, Cameron Carter, Coach Dick Patzer, (FRONT, LEFT) Melissa Better, Sarah Garnett and Karl Stout. by about 3o seconds; Powers, a junior, will have another shot next year, Patzer noted. Also finishing the course for Goldendale were Karl Stout (28:55:60), Sarah Garnett (32:o6:36), and for the boys, Cameron Carter (24:26:35). The state meet will be held on Saturday in Pasco. Timberwolves lose on the road, On the road Friday against the league's sec- ond-place team, the 7-1 Granger Spartans, Goldendale High School's varsity football team clawed its way to a respectable 48-2o loss. "We could have moved the ball more con- sistently," said head coach Doyle Payne. "And we were missing two starters - that hurt us a bunch." But there were bright spots, of course. "It was fun to see [Daniel] Sanchez have a great night. TJ [Lund] has had one, Travis [Cleveland] had one; now Sanchez has, too," Payne said. Almost precisely mirroring Cleveland's accomplishment of three weeks ago, Sanchez caught two Shane Bare passes for touch- downs, one of 69 yards to close the third quar- ter and another of 65 to open the fourth. After the Wolves answered the Spartans' opening-drive touchdown with one of their own, on a 6o-yard Cody Hamilton run, Granger then ran the score to 22-6 unstoppable running and a blocked Quarterback Bare was 16 of 29 - 198 of them on four passes to Hamilton made 12 carries for 95 As the season winds down, self looking toward next season'and for a summer of conditioning.

Rodeo Club begins Christmas swag In Goldendale, the holiday season begins not just with Halloween but with the sale of Goldendale High School Rodeo Club evergreen swags. Renea Campbell, whose daughter, Kayli, is on the rodeo team, is helping head up this year's effort. Club members will soon be circulating through town to take orders, Campbell said; anyone wanting to place an order can also call 773-3893 or 773-3975. The club will take orders through Nov. 15; last year, according to Campbell, mem- bers sold over 50o swags.

Klickitat Vandals' valiant effort falls short of state The Klickitat Lady Vandals' volleyball team - all eight of them - pulled off the improba- ble by beating the 8-3 La Salle Lightning in five sets to kick off the 2oo4 Columbia B- League finals tournament in Goldendale on Saturday. Aryn Davis, Sherry Brewer, Erin Draeger, Deidra Clack, Melissa Huwe and Trisheena Keys, with Alana Carter and Kali Linville coming off the bench, staged one impressive comeback after another, winning 24-26, 27- 25, 23-25, 25-22, 18-16. An apparent scorekeeper's error left the girls on the floor, not sure whether they had won or not, before officials finally awarded them the match. Mas, the win meant that the the 9-3, division-winning Vandals' than six hours later, against Riverside Christian. Klickitat held but lost 14-25, 13-25, 27-29.
